Texas AV registry reveals Waymo's 577-vehicle lead over Tesla's 42 commercial units

Texas's first mandatory commercial AV registration law, effective May 28, forced fleet disclosure across all operators — putting Waymo at 577 vehicles, Avride at 317, Aurora at 91 trucks, Nuro at 47, and Tesla at 42 despite active robotaxi service in Austin, Dallas, and Houston. The registry marks the first official public accounting of commercial AV scale in the state, confirming Tesla's footprint is a fraction of Waymo's despite the high-profile launch narrative.
